The art of color blocking is all about layering colors, to brighten up the decor of a space. From bold combinations to subtle ones, this style aims to use contrasting solid colors to make a unique statement with a customized and defined aesthetic.

What’s best about it? This trend is flexible, stylish, and universal. In other words, this vibrant trend has many innovative possibilities to add modern flair. 

A Guide to Color Blocking -

When in doubt, accessorize!

If you just want to dip your toes and test the waters, start small by incorporating a single unit. For eg, one bright wall, one big vibrant art or painting shelves in alternating hues. Slowly ease into your comfort with colors.

A neutral base to take things easy

A background of taupes, creams, and beiges eases the vision and gives a versatile canvas to play with hues. On it, you can play with contrasting accents in pops of reds, blues, or yellows. For eg, blood-red cushions and rugs with a beige couch to balance it off.

From mild to wild

Taking out the big guns, go bold and pair solids together in groups of 2 or 3 (not more), or go wild with neons. For eg, a palette of mustard yellow, lime green, burnt orange, and pink. To not make it overwhelming, remember to not have too many dazzling shades competing for attention. The safest formula: one bright, one bold, one neutral.

Keep it in the family

An easy way to color block for a subtle effect is to keep everything within the same color family. Choose different hues of the same color in different depths, temperatures, and tones.

 How & why to induce the charm of Geometrics?

Apart from colors, upgrade your space with a touch of exotic mystery by adding shapes and forms to your decor. A great way to add fun and nostalgia to your space is through a play of patterns and shapes. Step out of the classics, and experiment with triangles and hexagons, stripes and dots, florals and grids to create visual interest and whimsy. From tiles, and fabrics to wallpapers, playful patterns, distinctive shapes, and bold colors are instant ways of sprucing up the space.

But, why are they so great for fall-winter?

Winters call for warmer color tones, rich textures, and layering to induce a sense of comfort. Revamp your lived-in sanctuaries, as they are also spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and spending time with loved ones.

Earthy, and moody tones, materials like cane and wood with sleek metallic additions, fabrics like jute and velvet, work great for the season. A blend of sheen, modern edge, and classic vintage gives sophistication and warmth to this season’s decor. This is the time, if you want to go for a rich paint palette, and warm deeper tones like plum, red, purple, and dark blue. Or fabrics in geometric designs that combine beautifully with woven, and bold patterns.

Decking up a space to suit the season and getting creative with trends is something that keeps you on your toes as a host and also makes moments unforgettable for your guests. These little details make the heart happy, and feasting even happier. Have you started gearing up for Holiday Hosting?
